Slow it down!

My 7 yr marriage didn't survive the diagnosis and I have... Read more Chevron

I'm new - and I'm afraid this is a bit of a rant :)

I tried to submit this earlier but it seems to have disappeared into cyberspace, so if it appears twice, I do apologize. Before I get into my mini rant (perhaps not so mini by the time I get finished), let me just say that I know I’m lucky, and remind myself constantly that I am very lucky – my diagnosis was quick, I have a...
